Falco 3 by Falco
Falco 3 is an album by Falco, released in 1985. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 13 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Rock Me Amadeus”, on 11 lists with a best position of #12.
Falco 3, the third album from Austrian singer and rapper Falco, came out in 1985, on A&M in most of the world, and it marked a changing of the guard behind the desk: after two records produced and co-written with Robert Ponger, he handed the controls to Bolland & Bolland.
The result is slick, witty, big-beat pop with a wink, Falco half rapping, half hamming over glossy synths and punchy drums. "Rock Me Amadeus" was the monster, going to number one in the United States in 1986 and making him the only artist ever to top the chart there with a German-language song, while "Vienna Calling" kept the party going.
